The GOAT goes: Quarterback superstar Tom Brady of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers is probably ending his career after 22 years in the National Football League (NFL) with seven Super Bowl rings.
He is probably the greatest football player of all time: Tom Brady. The quarterback legend has won the Super Bowl seven times – now after 22 years it should be over.
According to information from the US medium “ESPN”, the 44-year-old decided against continuing his unique career after the play-off with the defending champion Tampa Bay Buccaneers. An official confirmation is still pending. According to the AP news agency, the quarterback of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers told general manager Jason Licht in a telephone call that he had not yet made a decision.
Failed in the playoffs
Brady left the New England Patriots in 2020 after 19 years and a title dynasty. He continued his career in Florida, where he won another Super Bowl with the Buccaneers and old pal Rob Gronkowski. In this year’s playoffs, the Bucs lost 27:30 to the Los Angeles Rams after a thrilling comeback from 3:27 to 27:27 in the divisional round.
Tom Brady is a spectator at the semifinals on Sunday. His quarterback colleague Patrick Mahomes (Kansas City Chiefs), who could also shape an era of the game, commented on the report on Twitter with an emoji goat – the sign for GOAT: Greatest Of All Time. Brady’s longtime Patriots teammate Julian Edelman thanked him for “the memories we shared, babe.”
Appreciation from German football star
The German Super Bowl winner Sebastian Vollmer has already paid emotional tribute to the quarterback superstar Tom Brady when he said goodbye to the National Football League. “He’s a lifelong friend. We can all count ourselves lucky to have lived in such an era of football, to have experienced it. Athletes like that don’t come along every few years,” Vollmer (37) told SID on Saturday evening.
There is still no official confirmation from Tom Brady. “I understand the upfront speculation about Tom’s future,” his agent Don Yee said in a statement Saturday, according to ESPN’s Adam Schefter. “Without addressing the accuracy or inaccuracy of the reports, Tom will be the only one expressing his plans with absolute accuracy. He knows the realities of football and the calendar as well as anyone, so that should be the case soon.”
